Cloud Baremetal_

Bare Metal Service enables you to leverage high-performance bare-metal servers to run performance-demanding applications. This service allows you to use OpenStack APIs to provision bare-metal servers, install operating systems (OSs) on the servers, and implement automatic management. It enables you to deploy applications directly on physical serves in an OpenStack-based environment and manage the servers together with VMs.

You can use OpenStack VM management APIs to provision bare-metal servers and use the OpenStack Nova API to perform the following operations:

Specify images and specifications to be used by bare-metal servers during bare-metal server provisioning.

Query, modify, start, stop, and restart bare-metal servers.

You can also attach Cinder volumes to bare-metal servers and use SDN controllers to modify switch port configuration to connect switches used by bare-metal servers to the Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) and Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) of Neutron, establishing connectivity between bare-metal servers and VMs. The method of attaching Cinder volumes to bare-metal servers is the same as that of attaching Cinder volumes to VMs.

Bare Metal Service provides you with powerful bare-metal server management capabilities. The following capabilities are provided for you to provision and manage your bare-metal servers and to develop upper-layer service applications:

Host a personnel or public-facing website: You can use Open Telefonica Cloud bare-metal servers to function as the backend servers of a website to ensure stable and reliable running of the website services.

Run databases of large enterprise: You can deploy database clusters on Open Telefonica Cloud bare-metal servers to provide stable and reliable database services.

Run performance-demanding services: You can deploy performance-demanding services directly on bare-metal serves to enable the services to gain high-performance computing, storage, and network capabilities.

Run special applications: You can use Open Telefonica Cloudbare-metal service to run applications that cannot be deployed in a virtualized environment.

High-performance, bare-metal cloud functionality is ideal for operations where there is a need to perform short-term, data-intensive functions without any kind of latency or overhead delays, such as Media-encoding, BigData, etc. Bare-metal servers do not require a hypervisor layer since resources are not being partitioned among multiple tenants. Therefore, each server’s entire processing power is available to applications, resulting in better performance than a comparable virtual server. Without multiple tenants competing for shared resources, high-I/O workloads, such as large database applications, can run at peak performance.

Compliance: running on bare-metal makes easier to pass security and compliance audits, and is also highly consistent since resources are not oversubscribed among tenants.

Licensing Optimization: Because the customer can still use their licensed for dedicated hardware.

You are charged for each hour or partial hour your bare-metal servers are running. Partial hours are billed as full hours, and there is no minimum fee. The price of a bare-metal server varies depending on the bare metal server type that is composed of CPU model, number of CPUs, memory size, local hard disk type and size, number of network interface cards (NICs), NIC bandwidth, and peripherals inserted into it. The detailed pricing factors are as follows:
